Class (I) Residential Properties without a Home Exemption. Second homes and rentals or primary residences where an owner failed to file for a Home Exemption are assigned to the following two tiers based on the valuation of the property:
(1) Residential A Tier 1 tax rate: applied to the net taxable valuation of the property up to $1,000,000; and
(2) Residential A Tier 2 tax rate: applied to the net taxable valuation of the property in excess of $1,000,000.
Taxes are calculated by taking the first $1,000,000 of the Assessed Value and divide it by $1,000. Then multiply that by the first tier rate. Take the balance of the Assessed Value and divide it by $1,000 and multiple that by the second tier rate. Add the two calculations together. For Example:
Assessed Value
|
$2,500,000
|
First $1,000,000 of the Assessed Value
|
$1,000,000
